for q Share of 1t.


for q Share of 1t.
The REPUBLICAN, yesterday published
telegram from Boston to the effect that
"Richard Bean of that city, and his brother
John, beth Of whom are hackman, and a
sister, who is the wife OF member Of the
Springfield fire department, have bsen noti-
fled that they are joint heirs to fortune of
$4,000, 900, left by Thomas Bean, who re.
Gently died at Bonham, Texas"
1t seems that the deceased resided In this
city years ago, and served an apprentice
ship with his brother, the father OF Mr..
lhaddeus Bean, the well.known contractor
of East Washington, He left this city for
New Orleans, and from that place struck
out for Texas, where he amasse1 fortune.
A REPUBLICAN reporter called at the house
Of Contractor Bean, No. 30S Second street
southeast, last night, to ascertain IL the
family had been apprised OF their good
luck. Mr.. Bean himself was not at home,
hut member Of the family said, "Ycs, 1t is
all true. Mr.. Beams uncle In Texas died
on July 12 last, and he did not leave will.
Mr.. Bean received letter from cousin,
who is now residing in Texas, who confirms
the story of the uncle's death"
"How many heirs are there?" asked the
reporter; EP.%he... r Ram ,.o two brot,ors on,
sister, Mrs Howard. All of these are
dead, so their children, OF which Thaddeus
Bean is one, will come In for the estate.n
'ls the amount $l0,000.000, as stated?"
1--WE can't tell as to how much 1t is. It
has been various!y estimated to us at all the
way from two millions W zen mlilionsn
Mr.. Thad. Bean has four sisters aud the
same number of brothers In this city, so that
20 far as Is known eight Washingtonians
will come In for their share OF the fortune.

No LauicIs Tor the Government ia Gaze
of Conviction.

No LauioIs iortho Government in Case
of Conviction.
The case against DR. Millhrd II. Crawford
was resumed In the police court before
Judge Harper yesterday afternoon, and was
not finished when the court closed.
Mr. Charles s Moore, Of counsel for the
defense, continued his argument on the law
points in the caso. lie claimed that there
was no positive evidence introduced by the
government to chow DIR. Crawfords guilt
the only evidence brought iD by the other
side was Of presumptive character. Mr..
Moore continued to read numerous authorl.
ties to show that conviction for fOrnica-
iion could not be sustained on merely pre-
sumptive evidence. lie took up the
"Darling Evan letter, aud denied that the
prosecution had shown In any man
ner that this letter was confession Of
criminal intimacy between his client
and Eva White. The law, he said,
did not recognize as a confession
or admission any statement made before
the preferrlrg Of a charge, and denied that
any confession was made by Dr. Crawford
TO Detective Raft. Turning TO Mr.. Lips
comb, Mr.. Moore said, "Why didn't you
bring Eva White here TO testify as to
whether she spent the night after the ex-
cureiUn on her own porch or the porch OF
the naval hospital"
Mr.. Lpscomb. ~ didn't know where
she was and therefore could not get her."
"You got her younger brother here, you
got her father, and you got the aunt Of
Eva,n was Mr. Moore's response, "aud Eva
was living with her aunt"
Mr.. Moore thought that the police court
was the proper court to dispose Of the case,
and he appealed to his honor to discharge
his client because no evidence had been ad-
duced to show his guilt. "lf this man." he
said, "is convicted, you apply false facts to
just law. Every lawyer and every good
citizen In this District would blush II such a
man is convicted on the testimony brought
IN in this case. ask you to Judge this man
simply as you would the humblest In the
world, and apply the same rules Of the law
and the evidence as you would TO the high
ct or the lowest In the land. 1t ia your
duty here to find him guilty II the evidence
1onvinces you beyond all reasonable doubt,
and II 1t does not beg Of you to preserve
he rights OF citizen and save good IN III
by dismlssipg the case"
Turning to the District attorney Mr..
Moore sGid In conclusion: "If thls man Il
convicted, what are your laurelsp They
viii be but band Of withered leaves, made
20 by the hot tears OF those that this de-
Tendant has made happy"
The bearing was not concluded when the
court adjourned for the day.

but sharp, and aided and abetted the
Railr. al Lobby, and between them
the Democracy was run on the rocks.
The writer has been nearly a hall
, century in politics and knows some
thing of parliamentary order, and is
dealing with his fourth generation OF
politicians, and is Radical by mental
and moral constitution, and so can
know whereof he speaks.
In examining the Swamp Angel
Railroad Bill the first question is, Was
there any necessity for its enactment?
The building of railroads was already
going forward vigorously under our
existing law. And whenever any rail-
road built under state law taps a rail-
road running out Of the state. the
whole thing comes un,ler the Federal
Interstate Commerce Bill in every par
ticular and in cases of conflict of laws
state law goes to the wall. Its enact
mept was unnecessary.
| IF it is asserted that it was necessary
to protect against railroad abuses, the
fact is that the bill is so verbose and
inconsistent that any railroad corpora
ton can run train through it in any
direction. In 50 far as the people ale
concerned it will fix quarantine sta
tions on the way to justice and make
| lawyers fortunes. If so. why was il
enacted? The tax land interest is
enormous, especially in Southeast Mis-.
souri,. AS rule tax land is worthless,
except for timber. There is not suffi-
cient mineral to enter into the ca1cula-
ton. The Swamp Angel will produce
a spawn of one-horse railroads, begin.
ming nowhere and ending nowhere
and only designed to enable holders OF
tax lands to unload or to strip the land
of everything of value.
But the resident holders of tax lands
have sold out; as rule they are held
| by non-res.deuts. If railroads are built
/ they will be built by nonresident cap.
ital, except SO far as county courts may
| be bamboozled into taking stock. All
the profits of the roads will be carried
away from the country. The roads
will take the lumber and leave the
stumps and brush. They will take the
mineral and leave the holes.
In the meantime the resident popu-

The Swamp Angel.

The Constitution of the State of Mis-
souri, provides that in extraordinary
cases the governor may convene the
legislature. Many Democrats who are
very strong lawyers have doubted
whether there was anything in the
circumstances of the state warranting
the call of the governor.
The constitution requires the COVER
nor to clearly specify the business of
the call session. 1t is question: BILE
whether the call of the governor was
sufficiently specific.
But the end crowns the work. The
Jefferson City Tribune goes into hys-
terics over the legislature and the
Swamp Angel. IJ declares that the
passage of that bill has saved the Dem.
ocratic party and vindicated Governor
Marmaduke for calling the legislature.
An ;ll-natured man might infer that
it was the Democratic party and Gov
ernor Marmaduke that were in extra
ordinary circumstances, and that the
| legislature was called to acr as midwife,
But now that the bill has been brought
forth and tie legislature has adjourned
and Governor Marmaduke has gone to
Europe to.recuperate, it is hoped thai
all parties are as we'll as could be ex.
pected. And it is hoped that no stingy
pinch-nickel, squeeze-cat will be seized
with economical gripes and grumble al
the midwife's bill of eighty-five thous.
and dollars.
| Whether the salvation of the Demo.
cratic party and the vindication OF
Governor Marmaduke are worth the
money to tie people of Missouri, is 8
question Oh which they will decide in
due time, and it can be safely left te
| them.
The male-up of legislative body
must, of curse. be factor in the char.
acter of it work. The legislature OF
Missouri an anomalous body. Be
tween therailroad lobby and the Re
publicansthe average Dem ocrat finds
/ Jordan a hard road to travel. The
Tribune ladies out some negative
praise to he few Republicans in the
IlegislatuP. These are two-tenths
right thee. The Republicans are few
